Simple Stories with Big Lessons
Raising children to be kind, responsible human beings can seem daunting in a world that is often very much the opposite. But stories can be a powerful way to teach these vital lessons—just like parents and grandparents have been doing for thousands of years.
I wrote these stories many years ago to help my young children learn kindness, confidence, and patience, and now I’m thrilled to share them with a whole new generation of parents and children.

I Didn’t Know I Was a Superhuman
A boy who wants to be a superhero learns that serving others and being kind is the best superpower of all.
Hootie the Blowfish

Cultivating Kindness with Meaningful Messages
It can be difficult for parents and educators to find the right words to talk with their kids about the things that really matter.
We strive to provide teachers and families with meaningful stories about kindness and character. It’s our hope that these tales will help spark those important conversations that will have a lasting impact on children as they grow.
